DEATH TO EVEE DOERS.
Kentuckians Swear to Restore Peace /
Rowan County.


LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 30.-A special
to the Courier Journal from Morehead
states that there appears to be no foun-
dation whatever for the rumor that the
Tollivers are organizing, and that the
people Of Rowan County feel confident
that their long war is over
and that an era Of peace and
happiness has at last dawned
upon the unfortunate section. An arti-
Gle was drawn up at mass meeting Of
citizens, in which every signer pledges
himself with his life to protect the life
and property of the people of More
head and of Rowan County. This was
signed by all of the 800 red men present.
Among the formal resolutions adopted
were the following: 1--WE hereby pledge
to ourselves and to the people of Ken
lucky that we will obey the law, and
we are determined to require observ-
ance of it in others. We are
tired of bIoodsned, and are
determined to have dominion
Of law rather than longer reign Of vio-
lence. We agree to act as posse comita-
tus whenever summoned by the sheriff
to execute the process of any court, anG
when warrants of arrest are placed in
our hands we agree to bring the parties
accused to the bar Of the courts, alive if
possible, dead if necessary. We deplore
violence in all its forms. but we are de-
termined that laWless men shall not
longer terrorize Rowan County, but that
we will in the strict Interpretation of
the law make a terror to wrong-doers
from whatever source they maycome."

THE little State OF Belgium has al
ways been the battle ground of Eu-
rope More decisive battles have
been fought on it's soil than on any
other OF equal area in the world.
Should war occur between France and
Germany, Belgium must take the
brunt OF the conflict. This small
nationality appears to have been
kept distinct as fighting ground for
its bigger neighbors when they fell out.
Just now the people Of Belgium are
taking great interest in French and
German politics, though unable TO do
anything in either, except to patient
ly await the turn of events.

GLASS FACTORHE S Idle.
Fears that Serious Trouble is Impending
in the Works.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 30.-All the glass
factories in the country will suspend OPP
erations tonight for the summer months.
The stoppage in the window, green,
plate glass and prescription warehouses
will be sixty days, and in the other lines
only thirty days. The American Flint
Glass Workers Union controls the in
dustry in every line except window,
green-bottle and plate glass. There will
be no trouble in the settlement of wages
except, probably, in prescription ware
houses. In this line the workers are
demanding the scale of 1884, which is
equivalent to 10 per cent. advance
over the one now in force. The manu-
facturers, it is claimed, will not consent
to any advance, and will also demand
the right to open their factories at the
close Of thirty days the same as in other
departments. This will be objected to
by the workers, and may cause more
serious hitch than the advance in wages
demanded. These matters will be con-
sidered at the annual convention to be
held in Atlantic City, n. j., on July II.

The wage differences between the

settled at conference at Pittsburg

the modified scale allowing an increase

tiOnal Convention.
SALT LAKE, Utah. July 1.-The Terri
torial constitutional convention has
flu attendance of delegates from every
county, all Mormons. John L. Game,
permanent chairman, in his speech
outlined the work of the convention,
and intimated that the constitution
to be adopted would satisfy the
nation as to the objection that
hitherto prevented the admission of
Utah to the Union. 1t is generally IN
derstood the constitution will contain
clause forever prohibiting polygamy and
will also provide for the minority repre-
sentation So far the Gentiles have de-
clined to have anything to do with the
statehood movement, and the more
pronounced non-Mormons are actively
opposing the scheme, but many con-
sentative Gentiles say that while they
have but little faith in the success of the
plan they would welcome statehood as
being the quickest and easiest way OF
settling the troublous Mormon problem
and bringing peace and industrial pros
perity to the long disturbed territory.
The convention will probably be in ses-
sion a week
